For example: did you know that if you click on a link from coredump.cx
to microsoft.com and it opens in a new window, then a second or two
later, that coredump.cx in the background can change the URL of the
microsoft.com window, and point it to evil.com? Heck, coredump.cx can
even wait until you navigate further down the microsoft.com website -
and detect that event programmatically. That behavior is enshrined
within the current design of the same-origin policy, and browser
vendors seem hesitant to touch it.

Here's a tiny PoC:
